Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the candidate of Labour Party (LP) and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has told his supporters to allow him respond to any candidate that commented about him.
Obi made the appeal in a post on his verified Twitter page, on Monday.
Since Obi declared his ambition to run for president, some of his supporters have been attacking and criticising those they perceived as supporters of other political parties or whoever has a contrary opinion to their beliefs on social media.
However, the LP presidential candidate in the post, urged his supporters to stop the act and promote the cause of moving the country forward.
He wrote: “I most sincerely appreciate all my supporters and those of LP. I love you all. I wish to appeal to you to allow me to personally respond to any CANDIDATE that makes comments about me,while you concentrate on issues to promote our cause of moving our dear Nigeria from consumption to production, create jobs, and generally evolve a better Nigeria – PO.”
